     I am using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express and downloaded Small Business Starter kit and have a SmallBusiness.vsi file and a web.config file.  How do I open these with VWD?

    Thanks

    I had problems installing with VS2008. Instead used VS2005 and installed fine. First click on the VSI file and it will create a template in your VS2005 startup.

    Then start VS2005

    In the installed templates you should see SmallBusiness Starter Kit. Click on the template, after you select the location. It will create a new website for you.

    I am using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express also and downloaded the Small Business Starter kit.

    I double clicked the SmallBusiness.vsi file and it ran the install.

    Next, opened Visual Web Developer.

    On the Start Page selected Create Web Site.

    On the Create Web Site box that opens you will see Templates at the bottom.

    If installed correctly, you will see SmallBusiness as an option.

    Selected it and since we are using VWD2008/ASP.NET 3.5 it will ask to convert the template from 2.0 to 3.5, select yes.

    It then opens the entire "project".

    There are directions on how to use it, once it is opened.


    Already started modifying it, works great.
